I only have 165 at the minute, give me a week or so and I will take you up on that, again thank you very much for all your help.

I still can't make it work using your method im afraid.
I guess i'll finish the set still and see how I go.
Thanks for your help.

I have attached the file for you to look at.

Ok, thanks for you patience.
Tried your PiconTool, same result im afraid.

The error I get is "Error BMP palette , check BMP palette!"
Close that window then "Error BMP data !"

I have uploaded a quick Picon for you to try your end, if you would please.

Realised there is an error in the name "STB..bmp", I overlooked this when uploading it.
I corrected the name my end and tested again, still no results.

Thanks again.

All my files 13.8kb

Tried your method, still no good.
Photoshop, no good.
Paintshop Pro, no good.
Picon Picture Converter, no good.

I can export bmp's from the tool and re-import them no problem.
If I open an exported bmp in any of the programs above and save, I then can't import the image back into the tool even though the image spec hasn't changed.
Im baffled.

Thanks for the quick response.
Im using the BMP'S in the exact same format as you.

132x99
256 colour (8 bit)
72 dpi.

Using PicIcon Tool I don't have "no_icon.bmp". I do have a "Sample.bmp" which opens in picicon tool no problem.
Using the tool I have options to -
Change BMP
Export BMP
or checkbox for ignore.
Im sure you know the layout.

"Use the no_icon.bmp, dubbelclick (open), then right click, choose insert/copy from.. (add your new picon) and then save it as .bmp."

Once loaded in the tool, I cannot left or right click the sample.bmp. I can only use the tool buttons to Change icon or Export icon.

Studying the working sample.bmp against my creations I see no difference in spec.

Im using Win 8.1 x64. Don't suppose this is an issue, is it ?

This is very frustrating, lol. Any other ideas.
To save you any trouble, i've been doing graphics and video since the early 90's.
I have thousands and thousands (literally) of icon/video projects under my belt so I know my way round a PC a bit.
But this has me stumped, I know it must be something real silly i'm missing.

Please advise.

Hi guys.
Looking to make my own set of PicIcons for my OpenBox V5S (slybox F5S).
The format is BMP @ 133x99, 256 colours.
So I made a few demo's at the expected spec.
Using PicIcon Tool to swap out icons for mine, however I get an error trying to import my bmp's.
I've scratched my head for a bit on this now, im stuck.
What am I missing here ?
Any tips from anyone ?

Hi guys.

Started to make some channel picicons for my OpenBox v5s.
Got Pic Icon Tool, etc.
Made images 132x99, RGB 8bit with 256 colour count.

Pic Icon Tool won't let me import them so I can build a new .ics

Error BMP etc.

Any ideas ?

Just like to say thanks for the firmware.
Newbie question, ok for my recently ordered OpenBox v5s ?
Im presuming so with it just being a name change.
The flashing and entering c****s I have already done on DM boxes for other people so I have a little knowledge.
